Historical Animal Geographies

Arguing that historical analysis is an important, yet heretofore largely underexplored dimension of scholarship in animal geographies, this book seeks to define historical animal geography as the exploration of how spatially situated human-animal relations have changed through time. This volume centers on the changing relationships among people, animals, and the landscapes they inhabit, taking a spatio-temporal approach to animal studies. Foregrounding the assertion that geography matters as much as history in terms of how humans relate to animals, this collection offers unique insight into the lives of animals past, how interrelationships were co-constructed amongst and between animals and humans, and how nonhuman actors came to make their own worlds. This collection of chapters explores the rich value of work at the contact points between three sub-disciplines, demonstrating how

Digital Blood on Their Hands

Cyberattacks are nothing particularly new to the world and Ukraine had suffered many such attacks by Russia over recent years. Russia was knowingly exploiting Ukraine's digital vulnerabilities as a proving ground for nearly a decade. Malware such as Sandworm and BlackEnergy had caused untold damage to the Ukraine population and government previously and allowed Russia to perfect their cyberattacks for further, more global events. They had been planting cyber Sleeper Digital Cells for years especially in the US and UK.Then, coincidently, the week after the Chinese winter Olympic games had finished, Russia launched an all out cyber offensive against 70 Ukraine government websites and due to these being poorly, and insecurely maintained, toppled one by one causing havoc and disruption to the Ukraine government and critical infrastructure. As Q said in James Bond, ''I can do more

Dark Horse Andrzej Sapkowski's The Witcher: A Grain Of Truth

O komikse v slovenčine:Geralt stretne netvora, ktorý odhalí pravdu za rozprávkami v tejto adaptácii pôvodnej poviedky Andrzeja Sapkowského do grafického románu.Geralt si skráti cestu po vyšľapanej ceste, kde urobí pochmúrny objav dvoch mŕtvol. Keď sa vydá po ich stope, vedie ho k opustenej vile zabezpečenej vysokými múrmi a bránou - záhadnej a ošúchanej, no zdobenej vzácnou eleganciou, ktorú Geralt nemohol ignorovať. Stretne sa s majiteľom vily - nie celkom človekom, ale netvorom s ľudskými schopnosťami. Geralt sa nenechá odradiť jeho netvorovým vzhľadom a prejavmi agresivity a netvor ho pozve dnu. Láskavý, ale opatrný hostiteľ rozpráva príbehy o svojej rodine, svojom živote... a svojej kliatbe. Keď ho bremeno previnení mohlo odsúdiť do tela netvora - odplaty, o ktorej sa hovorí iba v rozprávkach - mohlo by byť v týchto fantasy príbehoch aj iné zrnko pravdy - také, ktoré by mu mohlo pomôcť uniknúť jeho osudu a priviesť ho k spáse?Tento grafický román je prvý v sérii adaptácií zo Sapkowského oceňovanej zbierky poviedok Posledné želanie! Scenár adaptoval Jacek Rembiś (Frostpunk) a ilustrácie nakreslil Jonas Scharf (Bone Parish, War for the Planet of the Apes).  O komikse v angličtine:Geralt’s encounter with a beast reveals the truth behind fairy tales in this graphic novel adaptation of Andrzej Sapkowski's original short story.Geralt takes a short cut down a beaten path, where he makes a grim discovery of two corpses. Backtracking their trail, he’s led to a derelict mansion secured with elevated walls and a gate—mysterious and ramshackle, yet adorned with a rare elegance Geralt could not ignore. He is met with the mansion’s owner—not quite human, but a beast with the faculties of a man. With Geralt unfazed by his monstrous appearance and displays of aggression, the beast invites him inside. A kind but wary host, he shares stories of his family, his life . . . and his curse. If the weight of his misdeeds could condemn him to the body of a beast—a retribution spoken of only in fairy tales, could there be another grain of truth in these tales of fantasy—one that could help him elude his fate and lead him to salvation?This graphic novel is the first in a series of adaptations from Sapkowski's acclaimed short story collection The Last Wish! Script adaptation by Jacek Rembiś (Frostpunk) with art by Jonas Scharf (Bone Parish, War for the Planet of the Apes).

Dark Horse Berserk 07

O komikse (Manga) v slovenčine:Dve feudálne kráľovstvá, Midland a Chuder, bojujú o nadvládu v tom, čo sa stane poslednou zrážkou v storočnej bitke. Na čele Midlandských síl stojí Band of the Hawks, legendárna skupina elitných žoldnierov vedená charizmatickým Griffithom a s nebojácnym Gutsom ako jeho berserkerským šampiónom. Hawksova odvaha a strachuhodné zručnosti - nehovoriac o Gutsovom obrovskom širokom meči - sú presne to, čo Midland potrebuje na zvrátenie krvavej vlny, ale počas boja Guts a najdôveryhodnejšia Griffithova pobočníčka, Casca, spolu spadnú z útesu do rozbúrenej rieky. Zázračne obaja prežijú len tak tak a Guts sa stará o Cascine rany, zatiaľ čo ona mu rozpráva o tom, ako jej Griffith zachránil život, jej prijatie do Band of the Hawk a jej hlboké city k Griffithovi. Zdá sa, že sa dokonca konečne zohrieva u temného Gutsa. Ale tento ikonický okamih dlho nevydrží, pretože Chuderskí bojovníci sú na ceste a jediné pozdravy, ktoré nesú, sú na hrotoch ich kopijí!  O komikse (Manga) v angličtine:Two feudal kingdoms, Midland and Chuder, battle for supremacy in what will become the final clash in a century-long struggle. Spearheading the Midland forces is the Band of the Hawk, a legendary cadre of elite mercenaries led by the charismatic Griffith and with the fearless Guts as its berserker champion. The Hawks' ferocity, courage, and fearsome skills - not to mention Guts' enormous broadsword - are just what Midland needs to turn the bloody tide, but during the fray, Guts and Griffith's most trusted lieutenant, Casca, fall together from a cliff into a raging river. Miraculously, both barely survive, and Guts tends to Casca's wounds as she tells of having her life saved by Griffith, her induction into the Band of the Hawk, and her deep feelings toward Griffith. She even seems to finally be warming up to the grim Guts. But this greeting-card moment won't last long, for Chuder warriors are on the prowl, and the only greetings they carry are on the points of their spears!
